"I'm Morgan," the hare said quickly. "I make my life wandering about. If you're curious, yes I have mothered and weaned leverets before, and no, I don't have a mate at this moment, so there are no others with me."

She looked at the rest of the group. "Who are the rest of these and how did you manage to travel together? Some of you are natural enemies."

Buff said, "Well, the moose is Myles and the deer is Blaze. Oh, and the human is Tom."
The bison lay down on the ground. He ws tired and wanted some rest.

Morgan nodded appreciatively, but wasn't entirely satisfied. "That's not what I asked," she said, "though it does help to know your names. Why again, do you travel together? You're natural enemies as much as Tom and me could be."

ooc: If you respond F-14, I'd put this on pause right after, until Cyber returns from his vacation.

Buff answered, "Well, you mean the humans? Well, those predites attacked us and tore me up pretty bad. Myles said he had heard of some humand actually helping animals in need. So we tried it. We met a farmer who treated my injuries and after a while, I got better. Then, we found Tom in the woods. We thought he was lost but he wasn't. There were bad guys near by so we gave him a ride home just in case. We have kind become friends since then. Mind you, I don't trust just any human though."

Morgan nodded again. "The safety in numbers cliche," she said, rather quietly, "can't say I've ever tried it since hares mostly are soliditary and do not live in groups. Our cousins, the rabbits do that stuff, and well, they breed like rabbits, what can you say?" she laughed.

She looked Tom over. He seemed friendly enough. Buff probably wouldn't be around him if he meant any true harm. It was just so unnatural....but fun in a way. There could be some benefit having all different kinds traveling together in a pinch. "I guess in that case, I will join you guys, on the condition that any predator of mine refrain from drooling on me."

Buff said, "If you mean the wolves, they are not our friends. But I'll keep them away from you. Nothing to worry about. They won't come near humans. That is another advantage to having human friends."

ooc: We need a cyberlizard to make this role play move Westward ho.

"Who knows, we may run into those grass eating pricks again, eventually." Greycliff says to Colgar.

The cougar said, "I can't go after him again. He spared me. It is a practice of my kind to allow them to live if they let you live. Clearly, the buffalo is no killer. The moose, I don't know about. I already lost an eye to him. I'd rather not lose my other one."

Meanwhile, Buff was standing under a tree looking at the juicy leaves that were just out of his reach.
Myles said, "Forget it. We are just going to have to settle for grass today."
he buffalo replied, "Watch this!"
He reared on his hind legs and lept into the air, grabbed the branch, and, and pulled it out of the tree, leaves and all.
He said, "You were saying?"
Myles replied, "Well, alright. I was wrong."
Buff shouted, "Dig in!"

Morgan stared at the leaves, not at all interested in them at first.

"And what may I ask is wrong with grass?" she inquired, picking up one of the leaves and looking it over. Giving it a nibble, she didn't find it too bad, but certainly not what she was used to. "Mm...these aren't that bad, but I'd sure prefer the grass any day. What do you call these?" she asked the buffalo who seemed to be quite happy to get this food.

F-14 Ace · **Reply #150 on:** April 01, 2006, 11:50:24 AM

Buff replied, "Well, I like grass and all, but I just get tired of it. These leaves are sweet and juicy."
The moose added, "Just watch out for pine needles. Yuck! Those are nasty. But these leaves are good."
Buff said, "I just wanted something different today. I just get tired of eating grass every day."
He grabbed a few leaves and started chering them up.

After the group had finished with their meal, they relaxed under a tree.
Buff's ears suddenly perked up and he got up saying, "Hey, I think we're being watched! Who's there?"

Cyberlizard · **Reply #152 on:** April 02, 2006, 12:44:08 AM

Colgar stayed behind to cleanse his wounds while Greycliff and his herd watched the group of animals eat.

F-14 Ace · **Reply #153 on:** April 02, 2006, 12:49:32 AM

Myles said, "Oh great, it is those wolves again!"
Buff said, "How many times do we have to keep kicking your butts before you'll finally get it?"

Cyberlizard · **Reply #154 on:** April 02, 2006, 01:13:22 AM

The herd of wolves attack from all directions, two wolves attack Myles, the other two attack Blaze. One wolf nears Morgan, then another wolf says, "Leave her, the pack leader will not tolerate bringing back rabbits. Greycliff and Buff face each other in a stand off.

F-14 Ace · **Reply #155 on:** April 02, 2006, 01:16:47 AM

Buff asked, "For heaven's sake! What do you want with us? I don't taste good. Really. What did we ever do to you?"

"We're carnivores, It's what we do to survive." says Greycliff with a sinister smile.

Buff replied, "Yeah, but there are like, a bunch of other animals other than us around here. Back off now! Don't make me kill you."
